Modernism's Forgotten Hero

Ryan Hannigan is an artist working in Aberfeldy, Scotland, where
he has a gallery and studio (www.thetemplegallery.co.uk). He is
charmed by the Old Masters and limps behind their direction.
The practice of art, for him, is a continual search for hope. Belief
in God, he thinks, has for many been a cause of fear and war, and
yet he cannot help but see that He—Jesus the God-Man—is the
only sublime hope. He longs for a patron who wishes to adorn
an entire church, chapel, temple, or even home with the type of
work that he has contributed to this issue of Dappled Things, a
patron who sees art not simply as an aesthetic, but as a means of
meditating on that which is beyond us, on the one, true, sublime
hope.
